if you watched the interview you showed at the beginning with wayne lapierre and megyn kelly did a great job. he doesn't come off as an honest broker to me. i don't know why he's supposed to be treated as somebody trying to solve the problem when in fact he just passed his agenda, fine, the agenda is to spite any kind of gun control at every turn, even when megyn pinned him down how 11 school children probably survived the shooting because the shooter didn't have as many-- didn't have the clips or magazines he would have liked to have. wayne lapierre never answered that question, he just gave talking points. >> jon: but one of the parents of one of the victims, mark mattioli, he actually applauded the n.r.a., called it a comprehensive program, but because, i guess, he isn't touting the line that most in the press seem to like, this story didn't get much attention. >> did not get much coverage this week at all and maybe say that the messenger is not the best, but the message is a legitimate point and we should have the discussion and the press refuses to cover the other side or covers it
